Waterford - French Church

Going down Waterford's Parade Quay from the Holy Trinity Cathedral, we see on the right the French Church (National Monument), with a 15th C. nave, chancel and tower, all that is left of a monastery founded in 1240. From the 17th to the 19th C. the nave was used as a hospice for paupers, while the choir became a place of worship for Huguenot refugees and the Lady Chapel a place of burial for the leading families of the town.
